Cycle Pure Agarbathi Celebrates 77 Years of Fragrance Excellence with Innovative Festive Launches
Celebrating 77 years of fragrance excellence, Cycle Pure Agarbathi , India's No.1 agarbathi manufacturer and one of the world's largest incense brands, today unveiled its latest festive range of Bamboo-less Solid Dhoop and Medini Judwaa Premium Cup Sambrani. Manufacturing over 12 billion incense sticks annually and reaching consumers in more than 75 countries, the company continues to blend tradition with innovation, offering products that reflect evolving consumer preferences while staying rooted in India's rich spiritual heritage. Cycle Pure Agarbathi Unveils New Festive Fragrance Range Ahead of the 2026 Festive Season Founded in 1948 by visionary entrepreneur Shri N. Ranga Rao, Cycle Pure Agarbathi has grown from a traditional incense manufacturer into a globally trusted brand. Over the decades, the company has strengthened its leadership through consistent product innovation, responsible manufacturing, modern technology, and an unwavering focus on quality, while remaining deeply rooted in Indian culture and spirituality. As a pioneer in sustainable manufacturing, Cycle Pure is proud to be the world's first carbon-neutral agarbathi manufacturer, a milestone it has consistently maintained through investments in renewable energy, afforestation initiatives and responsible manufacturing practices. Reinforcing its commitment to environmental stewardship, the company has also achieved Plastic Neutral status by offsetting the equivalent amount of plastic it uses through certified plastic waste recovery and recycling initiatives. Bamboo-less Solid Dhoop – 3 variants Dasara, Yagna and Woods each fragrance has been thoughtfully crafted to evoke a distinct sensory experience. Inspired by the grandeur of the world-renowned Mysuru Dasara celebrations, Dasara combines the warmth of sandalwood with a rich masala blend to recreate an atmosphere of celebration, elegance and timeless tradition. Yagna , one of Cycle’s oldest and most revered formulations, traces its origins to the late 1940s. Inspired by the sacred Vedic ritual of offering natural ingredients to the holy fire while chanting mantras, it creates a divine fragrance that enriches prayer, meditation, and spiritual reflection. Drawing inspiration from the serenity of nature, Woods captures the feeling of an early morning walk through a lush forest. Blending sandalwood, amber, Ailanthus Malabarica and natural oils, it offers a deep, woody fragrance that promotes calm, balance and rejuvenation. In Indian tradition, Medini is revered as the Earth Goddess, symbolizing stability, abundance, and harmony. Inspired by this nurturing essence, Medini Judwa Cup Sambrani is crafted to create a deeply calming and sacred atmosphere for your prayers and rituals. The special pack contains two soothing fragrances - Rose and Jasmine, each chosen for its ability to enhance the spiritual ambience of your home. Speaking at the media interaction, Mr. Amarnath Datta, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer , said, " For over 77 years, our journey has been guided by one simple philosophy to honour tradition while continuously evolving with changing consumer needs. Our success has been built on trust, consistent quality and innovation. While our roots remain firmly embedded in Indian culture and spirituality, we have embraced modern technology, research-led product development and sustainable manufacturing practices to remain relevant across generations. Today, consumers can access our products through traditional retail, modern trade, e-commerce and quick-commerce platforms, ensuring we remain available wherever they choose to shop. " He further added, " Innovation also means taking responsibility towards the environment. As the world's first carbon-neutral agarbathi manufacturer, and now a Plastic Neutral company, sustainability is embedded into the way we design, manufacture and deliver our products. Equally important is our commitment to creating sustainable livelihood opportunities for women, reinforcing our belief that business growth must go hand in hand with social progress. " The company noted that consumer preferences are increasingly shifting towards premium pooja products, authentic fragrances and environmentally conscious choices. These changing preferences have inspired the development of the new festive range, which combines traditional fragrance experiences with modern innovation. Mr. Dwaipayan Das, Associate Vice-President, Marketing , said, " The festive season is a time of deep emotional and spiritual connection for Indian families. Consumers today are seeking products that combine authenticity, quality and sustainability. Our latest launches reflect these evolving expectations while preserving the rituals and traditions that have been passed down through generations. Bihar continues to be an important market for us, and we are witnessing growing demand for premium fragrance offerings during the festive season ." The company also highlighted that its recent acquisition of Satvik aligns with its long-term vision of strengthening its presence in the pooja and spiritual products category. By bringing together complementary strengths, the company aims to offer consumers a broader portfolio of trusted products while continuing to invest in innovation, sustainability and consumer-centric growth. As India prepares for the festive season, Cycle Pure Agarbathi remains focused on expanding its product portfolio, strengthening its market presence across channels, and delivering meaningful fragrance experiences that bring together heritage, innovation and responsible growth.

Straight from Homi Bhabha Block Mumbai
The incidence of cancer is not rare anymore in India. In the past two decades, the number of cancer patients has increased quite significantly in India. Though the Union Government as well as various state governments have set up many new medical colleges and healthcare centers, there are still thousands of patients from Jammu & Kashmir and many other parts of India that come to Mumbai to get treated at Tata Memorial Hospital. There are several good reasons why they choose to go there including trust, expertise, cost-effectiveness, and comprehensive care. The hospital uses modern technology along with a team of committed doctors, nurses, and other paramedical personnel. Both general as well as privately treated patients get the same amount of professional care. With the number of patients increasing day by day in Parel campus, many of the patients are referred to Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (ACTREC), Khargar, Navi Mumbai. This center covers a huge area and provides advanced medical treatment along with residential facilities to those poor patients who cannot afford private lodging. People from all corners of the country, including Jammu & Kashmir, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and various states in South and West India can be seen coming here for treatment. The most challenging situation that a family can ever face is the time when cancer is diagnosed for the first time. For many, hearing about cancer means facing fear and uncertainty. They experience stress and lose their confidence. Their suffering becomes more when the doctors tell them that their kids will have to travel thousands of kilometers to get specialized treatment in Mumbai. The journey to Tata Memorial Centre usually starts from Homi Bhabha Block where patients are registered for admission in the hospital. Long queues of patients and their attendants stand patiently every morning in order to get themselves registered in the hospital. The patients are registered in general or private categories depending on their financial conditions. Financial help, subsidized drugs, and welfare assistance are available for many deserving children getting treatment in the hospital. But one thing that can never be measured in terms of medical instruments is the compassion of people inside the waiting room of Homi Bhabha Block. In case of a new patient who is shocked with so many people who are seeking treatment, he/she sits silently and feels scared inside. He/she will sit beside another patient/parent whose child has already received months of treatment without asking their religious belief, caste, language, and region. They might share some biscuits, tea or even some comforting words to the new arrivals. What type of cancer has been diagnosed in you? When did your treatment start? Dont lose hope and be courageous. Stick to the advice of the doctors. These sorts of conversations usually become the first form of psychological strength for the newly arrived people. In a matter of few minutes, the new people become a part of the companions and the fear starts fading away. The patients start preparing themselves psychologically for their chemotherapy, operation or radiotherapy. There are also various charitable organizations and NGOs that extend assistance to the patients, especially the kids. They usually give them free books, bags, writing material, ration packets, healthy food, counseling, playtime, yoga classes, and education. Parents sitting outside the paediatric oncology outpatient clinic usually show their utmost gratitude for the medical professionals treating their kids. They usually appreciate doctors for being a source of hope in one of the most trying times of their life. Doctors like Dr. Chetan Damnay, Dr. Aditya, Dr.Yaseen and Dr. Jain, among others, and their colleagues, try hard to offer specialized treatment to the children undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Progress of every treatment process is monitored and assessed through regular outpatient visits. The surgeons and other professionals in the surgery department, Dr. Sajid Qureshi and his colleagues, are equally respected for their dedication to the cause. Dedication of the nurses is not behind too. From injection to dressing, everything is done with professional excellence and efficiency. The wards maintain hygiene through out. Once a patient finishes chemotherapy, another is ready to take its place. Separate wards are reserved for children and adults, and patients from every economic and social class are treated without discrimination. Rich or poor, whether you are a government official, politician or labourer, everyone is treated with equal care. Thousands of people every year avail cancer treatment at the Parel and ACTREC hospitals, while thousands more cases register themselves each year. With cancer treatment facilities available in numerous states, most of the patients find the facilities for infrastructure, costs, and multi-disciplinary treatment the reason why they prefer coming to Mumbai. Nevertheless, visiting Mumbai for some families is not feasible due to the economic burden. Costs go far beyond hospital charges; parents need to stay with their sick kids until completion of the treatment process, making them lose paid jobs and income. In some cases, people even have to sell their property to pay for the travel, accommodation, and living costs during treatment. This situation demonstrates the importance of improving the cancer treatment facilities in the country. While new medical colleges have been opened in various states, it is also equally important to create a good regional cancer center equipped with modern technologies, skilled medical personnel, and accessible costs. For each family that enters the Homi Bhabha Block building, fighting cancer does not just involve the treatment of medicine, but it also involves courage, compassion, and hope that go along with it. In the bustling room of that building, strangers can end up becoming one anothers biggest strengththe kind of therapy that starts with humanity itself.
